Ok so everyone that knows me, knows that I have Scion blood dripping through my veins.

LOL I just could not stay away...........

So here it is......

I am back and intend to have a lot of fun and see everyone that I can and meet everyone that I can....

Iam now the Scion Manager at Rodland Scion in Everett.......

For those of you that have not been to Rodlands in Everett...... They have an amazing showroom, and great potential. Please look towards Rodland Scion for some amazing things coming down the line

Look forward to being back in Scion and hopefully bringing a ton of fun to the party...

Victor

 

Sorry, I have to disagree. While I bought my xB2 from Rodland, it DOESN'T have an amazing showroom. Nothing amazing at all. And I was just there last week.

Now Michael's Scion/Toyota of Bellevue has an amazing showroom.

 

Congrats Victor, glad to hear that you're back in the Scion world and not selling some european car (not that they are bad). I know you miss being in this community and working at a dealership. Like we talked about, this place has potential for you

Yes bellevue has amazing showroom Redbeard. I don't think Rodland's is horrible, but does need a little remodeling.

I know Victor is going to change things around up there and that's a good thing, they were lacking in sales experience (had a horrible experience there when we bought our xD) so I hope that you're able to clean that up

Good luck and you know i'm here to help & support - now get to work & get of Scionlife ha ha

 

Victor, glad to see you back with Scion, looking forward to some great things from Rodland.

 

Now Redbeard.......one thing though is that it has great potential......just a little undiscovered, LOL I will aggree Josh in Bellevue does have a great showroom, but expect to see great things here I intend to have fun..


And to everyone else thanks for the welcome back.

 

victor, glad you are back!!

now find me a good trade on my wifes tc so we can get rid of her car payment!

 

way to put him to work already ha ha

 

welcome back

 

thanks again everyone and Doug I will work on it

So I am taking sugjestions on things to improve the showroom, I am going to try and get music playing over here to start..... and I will work on more as we go along I am going to try and jazz things up a bit

 

cool, thanks Victor!

 

Victor!!!! Back in the Scion river...it has a strong undertow. First thing I would do is make is say Scion in there, right now it says stuffy boring car dealership..I suggest paint, furniture and pictures...and the tc picture in the showroom is mine! Maybe talk to Josh and get some 5:AD wheels in there? Sounds like a partnership to me!!!

 

And you cane make our xD your dealer car in partnering with 5:AD body kit & wheels =)

as for the showroom, i think kanchi has a lot of good ideas. Also go talk to Steve at Sound Advice just north of you to maybe partner up with them for a sound system (he's the one that did my install). Even talk to Steve about ideas on a remodel of showroom 'cause he did theirs & it turned out great.

Either way, i work on showroom and lounge area next to showroom. Do some better displays, paint color, more comfortable furniture for people who are there for long hours and I'll add more as I think of them

 

LOL thanks guys I am working on some ideas to splash some color around and jazz up the place a lot hey at least I can say it is not white walls.

 

YAY! Congrats Victor!

And don't even THINK about talking me into buying scion number million or whatever I'm up to now.

So glad you are back where you belong. Congrats!

 

umm dont get my wrong victor. but what happened to mike? he still around or just moved on??

also one thing that doesnt cost money to do and used to help out the dealership a lot. is have a meet at the dealership. i mean it doesnt have to be a full blown car show or anything. talk about upcoming events and changes and ideas to the scion line up. hell make it a pot luck. sure brian can make his beans...lol we all pitch in a few bucks get hotdog or burgers or something.

as for the dealership changes. yeah 5 axis stuff is a must have. the wheel were built for our cars. you guys way over did the showroom cars. yes nice to look at. but damn way too expensive for people to buy. your best selling point is our cars ( well not mine) tc's like kanchi's, boxes like red's and chris's. yes they had the pictures in an album. that TV in the show room was used for stuff i can watch on normal tv or youtube. if it is still by the door blocking the scion dealership desks. move it or turn it. unless you know you guys are in that area. people will walk by and just talk to the toyota people. you do know they rather sell the other ones. even if they want to know about scion. but back to that TV. make a slide show of stuff like scion exposed annies pizza runs. meet and greets. rodland dealership events poker runs and the BBQ's. you can buy a car anywhere or from any dealership. but with scion you get a car and a community if you choose to.

i dont know if it was chris's thing or rodland thing. but last year at some point chris was handing out parts. not sure it was rodland or not. but turned a lot of people towards scion. heck most were 1st gen parts. but he also had swag as well. i mean i got a cup out of it. most of us love tshirts. heck who doesnt...lol those shirt or cups are are yor walking advertisements. hell i get asked questions when people ask me about my scion exposed shirt i have.

anyway victor congratz and welcome back.

 

That's great Victor. I really wish the best for ya. I know Mike Massey there, got a great deal there when I got my xB.

 

good luck man!

 

Welcome back, and god help us all.

 

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes........

I know that sometimes change is a hard thing for everyone....... Mike Massey has done a fantastic job here in Scion, I am blessed to be able to come into something that has a lot of potential and was not totaly forgoten....... Mike has taken a different position within the company, and they are looking for great things from him.

I hope that I can be as pro-active as he was, and help bring Rodland to the potential that it can be.

I look forward to the input from the comunity

 

oh you will do fine. sorry is i seems like i like mike over you. mike sold my my scion. i just wanted to know if he was still around. yes he was always treated me well. heck when i was in for service he came over and BS'd with me for a bit. also he helped me get into my scion after BECU hosed up my loan and didnt fax the papperwork over till after they closed.

it wasnt just massey. it was also frost as well. forst didnt sell me anything. but he did talk with me one of the times i was at the dealship and asked how things are going.

look forward to seeing you when i get my car serviced
